TSUYOKI Rattlin VIB Lure - Sinking Vibration Bass Bait
TSUYOKI Rattlin VIB Lure - Sinking Vibration Bass Bait
This TSUYOKI VIB is a sinking vibration bait built for anglers who want to cover water fast and trigger reaction strikes. The lipless body sends off a tight, rapid shimmy on the retrieve, and the internal rattle chamber adds sound that calls bass in from a distance, even in stained or off-color water.
Because it sinks, you can fish it at any depth by counting it down, then ripping or steadily reeling it through the strike zone. It works well around bridge pilings, drop-offs, and schooling bass busting shad on the surface. The dual treble hook setup gives solid hookup odds when a bass crashes it on the fall or the retrieve.

How to fish it
- Cast beyond the target area and let the bait sink to your desired depth, counting it down for consistency.
- Use a steady retrieve to keep the tight vibration going, or add sharp rips followed by pauses to trigger reaction bites.
- Fish it around drop-offs, bridge pilings, and submerged grass edges where bass hold at different depths.
- In cold or stained water, slow the retrieve and let the rattle work; in clear water or warmer months, speed up for a reaction bite.
Frequently asked
The 23g works better for shallower water and lighter tackle, while the 33g casts farther and gets down faster for deeper structure or windy conditions.
Pick a bait with a darker back and flash on the belly, similar to this shad pattern, so bass can track it by silhouette and vibration when visibility is low.
A medium to medium-heavy rod with 10 to 17 lb fluorocarbon or braid to fluorocarbon leader gives good sensitivity for detecting strikes and enough backbone for solid hooksets.
VIBs shine during cooler months and transitional seasons when bass are schooling and feeding on baitfish, though they also work well for covering water any time bass are chasing shad.
